ASX Announcement ATOMOS LIMITED (ASX:AMS)
31 January 2025
Q2 FY25 Quarterly Activities Report
Melbourne, Australia - Atomos Limited (‘ASX:AMS’, ‘Atomos’ or the ‘Company’) today releases its Appendix 4C and Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 December 2024 (Q2 FY25) along with an update on notable events that have occurred subsequently.
Highlights:
-
Q2 FY25 sales (unaudited) of $9.3m, up 7% on pcp
-
Primarily derived from existing core product portfolio, in particular the new Shinobi II product which contributed $2.6m revenue during the quarter
-
Negligible Q2 sales from Ninja Phone ($0.07m) and SunDragon ($0.3m) which were designed to appeal to a broader content creator base, but have not yet resonated
-
Reduction in gross profit margin from 43.1% in Q1 FY25 to (unaudited) 38.5% in Q2 FY25
-
Driven by discounting and promotions during November and December, required to meet the market, with some competitors offering significant (up to 50%) promotions
-
Global headwinds and reduction in discretionary spend are leading to softening demand and an increasingly price conscious customer
-
New Monitor product expected to be released in Q3 FY25 to engage with more price conscious consumers
-
New product suite under development for H1 FY26 which should drive sales volumes and provide margin retention
-
Previous medium term target gross profit margins of 40% - 45% may not be achievable
-
Cost restructure largely finalised, albeit run rate fixed cost base of approximately $16m not expected to be visible until H2 FY25 when redundancies (including notice periods) are completed; legacy service contracts expire; and other non-recurring expenses are finalised.
-
Q2 FY25 cash receipts of $9.3m and operating cash outflow of $3.5m
-
Cash expenses in Q2 include $0.9m investment in inventory uplift and $3.2m for legacy items (including restructuring, legal and settlement expenses)
-
Review of funding underway with update to be provided in Q3 FY25
-
Payments to related parties and their associates of $0.25m; relate to remuneration of both executive and non-executive Directors.
Funding
The cash balance as of 31 December 2024 was $1.4m, however the Company has sufficient headroom having received Letters of Funding commitments for a total of $9.6m ( Commitments ). As of 31 December 2025, $6.6m has been drawn under the Commitments.
The Commitments have a fixed interest rate of 14% per annum on drawn funds (interest being accrued until repayment). The interest rate is consistent with Atomos’ prior working capital facility provided by Arrowpoint, however superior on all other terms, notably that it is unsecured with no financial covenants. The Commitments have a minimum term of at least until October 2025.
The Commitments have been provided by entities associated with the major shareholders including, Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd, and Atomos Directors, Peter Barber and Jeromy Young.
Although not formally documented, nor is there any guarantee or undertaking by any party, the intent from the major shareholder and Directors is that any funds drawn under this arrangement would be repaid by way of exercising options currently held by the relevant parties, assuming the options are ‘in the money’ at the relevant time.
A review of funding requirements is currently underway with update to be provided in Q3 FY25.
Outlook
The restructure has now largely been finalised, albeit the run rate fixed cost base of approximately $16m is not expected to be visible until H2 FY25 when redundancies (including notice periods) are completed; legacy service contracts expire; and other non-recurring expenses (such as legal and settlement costs) are finalised.
Atomos Managing Director and CEO, Jeromy Young said: “This quarter we achieved several key milestones further demonstrating our efforts over the past 9 months in repositioning Atomos into the global video technology leader that we know it can be.”
“We are very pleased to have maintained H1 FY25 revenue vs H1 FY24, especially considering the downturn in the professional video and camera market globally. However to achieve this, some discounting was necessary to combat our competitors aggressive pricing strategies which has impacted our H1 FY25 margin. We continue to see growth in the low-end monitor space with the Shinobi II, and have several lower cost options targeted for release, which we expect to drive sales growth in this space.
We continue to right-size the business for the current sales volume and we are now down to a head count of 60 from 90 in December 2023. We will continue to closely manage operating expenses while we rebuild our product lines for new content creators, while moving our sales and marketing initiatives to focus heavily on online advertising for key marketplaces.
We are highly focused on new customer acquisition and the development of existing channels coupled with a stronger online presence.”
This announcement has been authorised for lodgement with ASX by the Board of Directors.
